Seems it was packed

[VinylGuy]

Thanks for the reviews Wease and DT; it really seems it was a wonderful night

Very happy Waiting and Won’t Tell were played, those two are favs

Where’s the rest of the setlist?

Single song posts? No consolidated list? Abandoned partway through?

Setlist thread amateur hour over here!

Anyway, here’s Wonderwall:

Great substitution choices there. An actual return to form!

[dimejinky99]

did anyone watch glens set?

[Ensign9]

Yes, and he and his band were fantastic. I wasn't super familiar with his work beyond his PJ collaborations but now count myself as a fan.

[dimejinky99]

good stuff

[Ensign9]

Were there lots of empty seats? I read about $20 tickets because the concert sold poorly. I thought this was a sell out and the $20 tickets were last minute offloads. Which is it?

It sure looked sold out to me.

Glen identified an actual crowd situation and rallied some first responders to them during his set (versus Ed's false alarm during Why Go).

Coming from someone who has only seen them 9 times, I think it’s going to be easy to top this setlist on night 2 on paper. I’ve seen all of night 1 songs except DM over the 9 shows which are all pretty common. Hoping they challenge themselves a little more and pull out some deeper cuts. Night 2 should not disappoint!

[Ensign9]

I'm expecting Rats in honor of the Rat Hole and related shirt.

can we not use the word 'autism' so freely? thanks for the review, but that was not the best word to use lol

[Ensign9]

I somehow forget to mention all of the concessions stands giving out free food after the show. The red line train ride back into the city was a cloud of hot dog gas.

it was not a false alarm, it was right behind me. some dude was wasted and collapsed. they got him out of there quickly though.

it's the gummies. they take one. it doesn't kick in. they take another. and the next thing you know there are 3-4 dudes holding up red lights and making ed stop the show.
